Jerzy Elzanowski
Cross-Appointed Professor
Jurek Elżanowski’s work focuses on the history and historiography of urban war damage as well as recent commemorative strategies in the Ottawa National Capital Region, particularly the Holocaust and Communism memorials. He experiments with joint architectural and humanities pedagogies, both in his teaching and through collaborative projects in the fields of heritage conservation, memory studies, and curatorial studies. At the Azrieli School, he teaches core courses in the Graduate Diploma in Architectural Conservation, offers electives in Canadian Studies (paired with design studios informally co-taught with colleagues), and supervises MArch and PhD students. He periodically teaches graduate seminars and courses abroad in architecture and memory.
